	Louisiana Tech University - College of Liberal Arts - Professional Aviation::Instrument Pilot Rating
		The first rating after attainment of the private pilot certificate is the instrument rating, typically obtained at approximately 150 hours of total flight time (The FAA does not specify minimum total hours for this rating).
		The instrument rating prerequisite is a private pilot certificate and includes a minimum of 35 hours of flight instruction.
		Instrument experience can be accumulated by using a vision limiting device (normally an instrument hood) and flying with an appropriately rated safety pilot aboard.

	Instrument rating - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Instrument Rating refers to the qualifications that a pilot must have in order to fly under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR).
		For most private pilots, the most significant value of flying under IFR is the ability to fly in instrument meteorological conditions (such as inside clouds).
		In the United States, an instrument rating is required when operating under Special visual flight rules (SVFR) at night.

	IFR Rating by Michael Church
		The ratings are limited to the “category” of aircraft in which they are earned, so that a pilot with certificate privileges in both airplanes and helicopters will have to take a separate instrument checkride in each type in order to have full access to the system.
		In the case of airplanes, this means that a pilot with an instrument rating, airplane single engine land, has to take a separate instrument checkride when he or she wants to add multi-engine instrument privileges.
		Instrument reference is inherently more limited than visual, and although the instruments present all the information necessary, it is natural to avoid aggressive and energetic maneuvering.

	Instrument Rating in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An Instrument Rating is required for a pilot to fly under instrument flight rules (IFR).
		Candidates for the instrument rating must be knowledgeable in IFR-related items in the AIM, the U.S. system and procedures, IFR navigation, the use of IFR charts, aviation weather, requirements for operating under IFR conditions, recognition of critical weather, Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) and Crew Resource Management (CRM).
		Successfully complete the instrument rating practical test (and oral and flight test), as specified in Practical Test Standards (PTS) for the instrument rating, which will be conducted by an FAA designated examiner.

		If you do not have Instrument Rating, it is unlikely that you will be chosen for a job over another pilot who does, simply because the other pilot will be more versatile and flexible for the job at hand.
		You will note that the subjects required for the Instrument Rating are virtually identical to those required for the Commercial Pilot Licence.
		By the time you commence the training for your instrument rating you will already have your night rating, which will credit you with 10 hours of basic instrument flying.

		Although the Robinson helicopter is not certified to fly in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC), the skills you learn during your training can be applied to everyday flying and in the helicopters you may fly later in your career.
		Many employers require an instrument rating because instrument pilots are safer pilots.
		If you have an airplane instrument rating, the add-on helicopter instrument rating requires a minimum of 15 hours of dual instruction.

	Flightinfo.com: Instrument rating
		This rating states that you are qualified to fly in less than V.F.R conditions (basically a license to fly in the clouds, fog, rain, etc. I.M.C), 1000 ft or less than 3 miles visibility.
		After you have met these requirements, you are ready for your instrument checkride (flight test).
		Since this rating relies little on weather, it is a fairly quick rating to receive (Approximately 1 to 2 months).

		By adding the FAA Instrument Rating to your private or commercial certificate, you join the true professionals of the sky.
		The Instrument Rating lets you fly on days when the weather is less than perfect, makes you a more precise pilot, and gives you more complete access to the air transportation system.
		Another benefit of having the instrument rating is the ability to fully use the airspace system; for example, filing IFR means never having to beg for permission to fly through an airport radar service area or terminal control area that may be along your route of flight.

		Contact Us For the pilot, instrument training represents a wise investment, both for career and safety reasons; it opens up a number of positions for which a non-instrument pilot would otherwise be unqualified.
		The objective of the first phase of the instrument program is to obtain knowledge of instrument flying procedures, charts and publications, weather etc. This is accomplished through an extensive three week ground school class.
		The real value of the instrument rating comes later in a pilots career when he/she is trying to make the step-up from small to medium size helicopters.

	InstrumentRating
		Without the instrument rating, you'll be restricted to flying in VFR (Visual Flight Rules) conditions, which means that you won't be able to fly inside clouds or in areas of very low visibility.
		The IFR rating allows you to fly in areas of poor visibility and also fly inside clouds, which is very useful when the Bay Area is fogged in.
		Of that 40 hours, 15 hours must be with a certified instrument flight instructor (abbreviated CFII or CFI-IA.) Also, during those 40 hours, you'll probably log at least 10 hours of cross-country time, which counts towards the 50 hours mentioned earlier.

		An Instrument License, like the PP is nothing more than a license to learn- without the expense (or added safety)of having an instructor along.
		Statistics show that you are most dangerous with the IFR rating before 50 hours time and then the incident rate decreases significantly after 50-100+ hours, that's a sobering thought for myself as I'm in that category of time.
		After a successful instrument flight in IMC and a successful instrument approach, precision or not, the feeling when you get out of the plane is entirely different than that you get after a VFR flight.

	INSTRUMENT RATING COURSE SUMMARY
		The Instrument Flight Training Manual by Peter Dogan is used as reading material for the flight training portion of the instrument training, supported by additional material compiled or written and supplied by us.
		We will attempt to expose the instrument student to some actual instrument weather conditions, as long as it is safely possible to do so, considering ceiling and visibility, icing, thunderstorms and student skills.
		During this phase instrument approach procedures will typically be flown at uncontrolled airports with the instructor simulating ATC communications, and the student practicing IFR phraseology.

		The instrument rating is probably the most satisfying rating to get.
		NOS instrument charts are generally available for a reasonable cost, but many association members prefer to obtain a Jeppesen subscription to be kept up-to-date automatically.
		Simulators are especially good for teaching instrument procedures and also for emergency training that cannot be handled in an actual aircraft.

	Getting my Instrument Rating
		With the rating, I could have flown the whole way at 10,000 ft, dropping down into Bay Area at the end.
		As it was I had to fly low, in poor visibility and with night falling, and constantly worrying if the weather would close in completely and force us to spend the night in a motel somewhere.
		Instrument approaches in a complex, fast (for me) airplane like 5296S are a lot more work, particularly when you sequence several of them together.
